I'm the problem/Quitting

I'm not going to touch anything else on this rant because to be honest I'm lazy. But what you say about Buff vs Debuff that buffs should be a "dime a dozen" and that it's silly that debuff is "worth over twice as much" comes down to the fact that typically, buffs only have the greatest effect when fighting with allies. Buffs are only allowed to significantly benefit your allies in a fight, not yourself, as self-buff is classified as transformation. And you won't always have allies in every fight, hence the lower price point. Whereas flat out, in any given fight, the assumption is there will be an enemy. And debuffs have no such limit on only having effects on "extra" enemies beyond the first. This is why Debuff costs twice as much.

Anyway that's my minor point. But what everyone else has pointed out is true as well. Fights are stil based on writing capability above most else. Regardless of how "good" your stats or moves are, you'll be beaten by a better writer most of the time. This isn't even an Omniverse exclusive thing- even full tabletop RPGs like Exalted have similar concepts with Stunts giving you bonus dice and DnD 5th giving you inspiration bonuses for doing cool things. That's the way RPGs are going- they focus more on the RP and less on the G.
